I won’t be watching it, these sorts of plotlines always cordon off actual SV victims from the media. It doesn’t matter how “tasteful” it is, it’s slop that ultimately trivializes SV for the profit motive
“I won’t be watching it because of a thing they show one time in the second season which i have a very strong opinion of despite having no knowledge of howit is portrayed in the context ofthe show, which, i won’t be watching”
The fuck is wrong with you? What are you arguing for? Do you want me to watch it? It doesn’t fucking matter how it’s portrayed. The setting, genre, and the company who made it itself trivializes the portrayal of SV. I say the same shit about Tasha Yar in Star Trek.
I stopped watching after about 3 episodes, it didn’t hook me. I was hoping for Star Wars meets The Wire, I wanted to see how the cities worked how they’re run and how local government and policy affect day to day life for people in this universe.
I think it’s a bit more Mr. Robot than it is The Wire, but you absolutely should give it a bit more time. Aldhani and Narkina 5 will absolutely give you the payoff you want.
What does that even mean? Its a tv show, none of it is “necessary”. It was an important event in Bix’s arc throughout the season, and a connection to the reality of precarious workers.
gets a short scene where she kills a dude then is perfectly fine and then returns with her special hope babe as a vessel for cassian’s patriarchal lineage to the occupied ICE metaphor farm planet where she only has suffered traumatic experiences instead of her mechanic worshop on ferrix.
Frankly tired of people praising yet another garbage show that uses SV to make itself seem “serious” and “gritty”.
I really don’t think that’s the take you’d come away with after actually watching the show.
It’s not doing the Game of Thrones thing at all.

Obviously I cannot speak for other SV victims, but for what it’s worth I did not personally find the attempted SV scene to be triggering at all.

To back you up, the SV scene did lead nowhere, since the character gets magically “fixed” by killing (one) of her torturers.
It’s a common and awful trope, like oh yeah PTSD is just this thing that dissipiates with vibes.

I didn’t even realize what scene you were talking about until I googled it. I disagree that it’s used to make it more serious and gritty.
The way SA is tackled and portrayed in Andor is good.
But also wholly unnecessary.

Its not explored at all. Bix

She was already violated once. Didn’t need to do it again.
that’s not what andor is so thanks for playing
